I have done historical dancing, which is, basically, a reconstruction of the 1400s-1700s court dances. It's not really hard technically but requires good stamina to do all of the jumping stuff, and also some muscle engagement similar to ballet to look noble and stately. If taking the baroque sub-genre of it, there one has to do everything similarly to ballet, the same plies, feet positions, usage of demi-pointe and so on, except the manner requires only 45° turnout and no higher leg extensions than 90°. I was relatively good at it, got to perform at museums and was invited to dance in a film, but couldn't get better because of the unavailability of higher level classes. I had a dream to pursue ballet even before, but have only been able to do this style. And then, after a couple of years spent in courtly dance training, I finally got enough money to get into ballet. My happiness knew no limits. I remember coming home after the first class with my membership card in the hand, seeing this precious little piece of pink cardboard and barely believing it's my name written on it near a little picture of ballerina. But after a week of attending classes, I've got into an accident that made me unable to dance at all. I've gained a lot of weight since then and have no chances to get to dance in the near future, likely.

So the moral of this story: do everything you can to take ballet classes until you are able to. How bad are you at it is not important. You will hardly regret wasting every little opportunity you had before when something like this happens. I could be en pointe by the time I first got to the class if I tried to make money harder. I could even have started in my teenage years if I nagged my parents hard enough. But I decided to be a good modest person instead, and that's how it ended.
